Chapter 3186 The Direction of Destiny

After breakfast, the ladies went to meet Queen Diana, and Xia De checked whether there were any missing items in his "gift list" at home. If he only realized that he had forgotten someone's gift when giving the gift, it would be too embarrassing.

.

According to the witches' itinerary in advance, Megan, Audrey, Sheeve and Miss Elather will arrive in the city today, while Bella will not come after giving her end-of-year speech at the city council tomorrow.

However, Xia De didn't know when they would arrive today. Since there were maids and ladies at home who could entertain guests, he continued his visit to friends.

I have visited most of my friends in other places yesterday, and today I need to visit my friends in Tobesque, as well as important foreign relations and family members such as Cassandra and Vanessa.

Xia De, who has been in this world for a year and a half, has made extensive friends locally, but because of the improvement of his social status now, mainly relying on Galina, many friends do not have to visit them in person, and those friends will probably follow the etiquette.

Come and visit him.

So after he left, he took a carriage to the university area and visited Professor Tyris Manning, who always helped him.

Not only is the core urban area where St. Terrain Square is located, but in fact the entire "Steam Capital" has entered the atmosphere before the festival.

The mist in the morning has not completely dissipated, and the snowflakes slowly fell in the hazy mist, covering the city with a layer of quiet silver. The carriage slowly moved along the stone road, and the wheels rang through the sound of the snow and the sounds.

The sound of horse hooves mixed together, like adding a more peaceful tune to this peaceful winter morning.

Xia De looked out from the car window and saw snow covering the eaves and carved balcony of the street-facing buildings. Most shops were hung with holly branches and festive decorations that suited the scene.

He even saw the steam-powered mechanical device of "Monkey Climbing Trees with Candy Cane" running repeatedly in the windows of candy shops on the corner, attracting a large group of children standing on the street to watch.

Behind the excited children, passers-by were wrapped in heavy coats and non-slip boots walking in the morning snow. Although this winter is not friendly to most people, at least in the near future, the festival is approaching.

, Most people just want to celebrate the peaceful end of another year.

And when the carriage turned the corner, the newspaper boy next to the mailbox was standing with a thin dark coat collar that shrouded the wind. He waved the newspaper in his hand, and his voice echoed in the cold air.

"Special issue at the end of the year! The Terrair River newspaper reviews the major events in 1854! The newspapers are added at the end of the year without increasing the price!"

Unlike Xia De, who lives in the building, Professor Manning lives in a house with a courtyard. Like his neighbors, he asked the servants to decorate the fences along the street as the festival approached, and even hung colorful ribbons on the mailbox at the door.

.

The professor also guessed that Xia De would come this morning and happily entertained him.

Professor Manning has many old friends and cannot rest at the end of the year, but he still took half an hour to chat with Xia De. Xia De did not give the professor old books or antiques, but chose a very fashionable one for him.

black cashmere gentleman hat as a gift.

Professor Manning's gift to Xia De was wrapped in a flat gift box. After Xia De returned home at noon, he opened it and found out that it was a poetry manuscript written about three hundred years ago. It included a collection of the author's own creation.

Series of Knight Poems - In fact, gifts in the end of the year should not be opened until the day after tomorrow.

After saying goodbye to Professor Manning, who was in good physical and mental state, Xia De got on the carriage and walked through the city area and headed to Old John's pawn shop.

Because Dad John lives in the pawn shop, even if tomorrow is the end of the year, his shop is still open, and there are even a lot of customers.

This time was probably the one that Xia De had seen the most guests in the pawn shop. Five or six guests lined up to pawn various items that were worthless. Xia De opened the door and saw this situation and turned around and left.

.I went around the nearby garment store before coming back. At that time, all the guests happened to be exposed, and Old John was keeping accounts behind the counter:

"This winter, the number of guests who come to me to pawn things is twice as high as in previous years."

He lowered his head and said, and sighed before throwing his pen and looking up. Seeing Xia De holding a yellow scarf, he couldn't help saying:

"Detective, don't say that this scarf you bought from the store next door is a gift for me in the end of the year."

"Of course not. I saw that the color of this scarf matches my cat, so I bought it."

He took out the end-of-year gift for Dad John from his pocket. After the old man took it, he stuffed it under the counter, and turned around and handed it to Xia De:

"You happened to be here, and there is something you want to tell you."

"You don't have poet-level relics [bereaved bequests of hunger] here, right?"

Xia De asked suspiciously, and the old man behind the counter shook his head:

"I did hear that this kind of relic has appeared a lot this winter, but there is no news in the Tobesk region yet. It's another matter. In the second half of this year, the Prophets Association is said to be looking for an unknown destiny of the fate.

Have you heard of this?"

"I heard that, [Fate Base]. But didn't they find it? Instead, in the autumn, they found a black mausoleum-like building in the south of the old continent. Another unknown relic inside almost broke through the containment.

Before the Battle of the Woodlands, the church was forced to divide a lot of combat power to deal with this matter."

The news of [Fate Plate] was brought out by Xia De from the "Black Mist Camp". Later, it was reported to the association through Luvia. The association went to find the believers of the old god [Golden Lord], which was found in this era.

Clues about that relic.

"It's good that you know about this. I received the news last night that the Prophets Association seemed to have found the [Plate of Destiny]."

The old man lowered his voice and said, Xia De frowned slightly, Luvia did not provide such information. But he did not doubt the information of the Secretariat. Although they were not large in number, the information was always accurate:

"'It seems' was found? So I didn't actually get it?"

"Yes, I just determined the approximate location of the relics. Of course, what I want to tell you is not about the relics. In fact, we also have some scattered poems. One of the content points to a unique one

We have always suspected that the divination instrument is [Plate of Destiny].”

He directly concluded:

"The meaning of the incomplete poem is probably where the [Plate of Fate] is where the fate is. The place where the relics appear is most likely where the chosen ones of fate appear."

The foreigner tried his best to not get in touch with new stories before the end of the year, but the new stories still took the initiative to find him:

"[Plate of Fate] only indicates the position of the selected person, or is that the relic related to the last selected person's ceremony?"

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥!

He asked again, and Old John shook his head:

"I don't know that most of the fragments of fate are in the hands of the Prophets Association, and we only know so much. But the fragments of the poems will not be repeated, so what I tell you, those fortune tellers should still

have no idea."

Although I knew that once I asked, it was likely that I had found something new for me to do, Xia De still spoke:

"Then the suspected location of [Fate Base] is"

"We did not have spies inside the Prophet, so the intelligence only showed that it was southeast of the old continent. The black building you mentioned that contained another unknown relic should be from the [Plate of Fate]

The real location is not far away.

Although the Prophets Association found the wrong position in autumn, their results should not be very different. It seems that the story of the ninth selected person will probably begin soon. Destiny, capricious and unpredictable,

What happens again?"

The information provided by [Light Guided Secretary Society] helps Xia De know where the next story will happen. But "Southeast of the Old Continent" is actually a very wide area. If you want to know more precise information,

More information is needed.

Luvia is going to be busy before the festival and will end all this morning. She will stay at No. 6, St. Terran Square until the beginning of the exam week. So Xia De hesitated to discuss with Luvia after the festival.

After a while, Luvia told this matter that he was going home with the gift.

After getting off the carriage, he took out the key and opened the door. Because he was still thinking about whether the information he had just happened to say immediately, so when he picked up Xiaomi who came to greet him, Xia De did not notice that there were many shoe cabinets in the foyer.

A few pairs of shoes.

However, while walking on the stairs, he heard the very lively voice coming from the upstairs.

After arriving at the second floor, I saw Miss Swift standing at the door of the living room talking to Tifa, Grace and Helen stood at the window and looked at the scenery of St. Terran Square, while Grandma Cassandra

Sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace, talking to Luvia.

The living room did not become very crowded because of this. After all, the area of ​​Xia De's house is still very large. Everyone heard Xia De's footsteps, so they turned around and said hello to Xia De.

"Mother-in-law Kassandra? Welcome, but didn't you say that you won't come by the end of the year?"

The elderly witch said with a smile:

"I didn't plan to come here at first, but later I thought about it. Although I didn't have to think about myself, I also had to think about the young people.

So I handled the matter at Fort Mead Hill in advance, and asked Grace and Helen to open the portal and send us here."
